In My Bag

1. Il Bisonte Vintage Satchel. Classic. Perfect Size. Hand made in Italy.

2. Coco-Roons. Sweet treat for Gluten free vegans.

3. Brora Cashmere (arguably the Scotish import that trumps even single malt scotch) made this perfect little comb to help defuzz merino and cashmere alike.

4. Small paper pads for lists, doodles, and when you just feel like writing.

Ilsa Loves Rick at Inheritance Montreal

I am thrilled to announce that the Ilsa Loves Rick line is now available in Montreal at Inheritance Shop.  Jonah Leslie, owner and design savant has made his shop the go to place for hard to find indie designers on the brink of big and those happy to have earned cult status. Lucky Magazine has named this eclectic shop on Le Plateau as their very favorite in the city not only because you can find Wood Wood, Rachel Comey, Want Les Essential Totes, and Malin+Goetz there but because Leslie has curated his stock so carefully that you covet each piece.  His penchant for travel led him to Bangkok years ago where he discovered indie designers and an intense curiosity about what things people are drawn to and choose to love. From there he began curating a small shop just off Saint Laurent before opening his tastemaker shop a few years back.  

What I love about... July

Scenes from... the weekend in Montreal

What I have been reading...

About a Girl...An interview with Kate Horvat

Kate is a high school senior, is whip smart, and plays a mean game of water polo when she is not winning national titles in a double (crew) scull.

What gets you excited about the future?

The fact that I can create my own future, I don't need to wait for other people or events to shape it for me.

Who are your heros?

Queen Elizabeth I, Susan Francia (3 time Olympic rowing champion), Hillary Clinton, Sitting Bull, Ghandi and my parents.  

How would you describe your personal style?

A mash-up of everything: preppy, western, 80s, punk, boho, classic and vintage (a personal favorite) .  Over time I have incorporated styles that I admire or am just exposed to into my own personal look.
